New Wal-Mart grocery, new strip mallz around the corner, across the street from running track and sports complex.

I've been an active real estate investor for the past 8yrs and agent with Tierra Antigua Realty.

Decide for yourself first how active or passive you want to be.

I use the LLC for active businesses to separate one business from the other, not to cover myself personally for liability.

Reach out to everyone in the area and see if they can put you in touch with some active investors who might share their favorite contractor with you.

So essentially I formed a partnership with the private equity investor, and as long as we can prove that he has some activity in the business, he can invest as much money as he wants with me. 

Please help so i can get this deal done.The house is in Detroit on the east side on the outskirts of east English village the area is ok it'll turn soon i believe but the street the house is on is great no vacant homes solid neighborhood.

A 6 bed 4 bath house 10 minutes away from a college, close to shopping and across the street from a park.

That said, unless you are active in that market, very familiar with the business owner and expect to have your initial investment returned in 12-18 months I wouldn’t touch it.

I also see this as an opportunity to learn more about real estate in preparation for future investments.About me: 40 y.o. single O-4P, with probably 4-14 more years of active duty before retirement.
